Here’s a pix of feather I found this morning showing feather abrasion.

Here’s species #129 seen at my place “the dacha”. Any ID discussion needed?
Woodpecker’s namesake.
And here’s a small challenge for you B3 grads (or anyone else): ID this bird and tell us why. What is the diagnostic field mark?
And so it goes — Grackles are next. They’re actually fun on the Bolivar Peninsula!! (you’re on you own for females (ask the males)).
Dacha bird #145 flew over yesterday: eastern meadowlark.
600 and counting !!
